Seeing as how it's half-past Halloween and below 60 degrees in beautiful Dallas, it's clearly time for the Holidays. To me, the Holidays are for family, food and giving (and receiving). I pride myself on being a thoughtful gift giver (well, there's an anomaly, eh?).
In order to help you, the internetS, be a thoughtful gift giver this Holiday season, every Friday until Crimmas this web log will feature thoughtful gift-giving advice for every member of your family or google+ circle.
Shall we dive directly into the shallow end of the pool?
Let's dance.

Large Mouth Bass Salt and Pepper Holder

Hammer/Bottle Opener
For: The Handyman in Your Life (Who Might Have a Drinking Problem)

Bonus: Saves time. Saves money.
